Reduced-Form Indices of Income Polarization

Chapter Chapter 4 in Inequality, Polarization and Conflict, 2015, pp 63-76 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter is concerned with reduced-form indices that summarize polarization in terms of the between-group and within-group of components of a subgroup decomposable inequality index. The between-group factor represents alienation and the within-group factor is inversely related to identification. A polarization ordering involving these two components of a subgroup decomposable inequality index is also deliberated.
